Just looking for config-bisect.pl in the source tree can be risky,
especially, if the source tree being tested doesn't have config-bisect.pl in
place. Instead, allow the user to set where to find config-bisect.pl with a
new option CONFIG_BISECT_EXEC.
If this option is not set, by default, ktest.pl will look for
config-bisect.pl in the following locations:
`pwd`/config-bisect.pl # where ktest.pl was called from
`dirname /path/to/ktest.pl`/config-bisect.pl # where ktest.pl exists
${BUILD_DIR}/tools/testing/ktest/config-bisect.pl
# where config-bisect.pl exists in the source tree.

If config-bisect.pl sees that a config_bisect has already been started, it
will ask on the command line if it should bisect or not. This will mess up
running config_bisect from ktest.pl.
Have ktest.pl pass in '-r' to config-bisect.pl and have config-bisect.pl
recognize that to reset without asking.

When commands are run in ktest, they are only displayed in the ktest log

[ Modified to use with new version of config-bisect.pl ]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Started working on a stand alone program that can do a config bisect. It is
based on the config bisect code of ktest.pl. Instead of needing all the
infrastructure of ktest.pl, all that is required for config-bisect.pl is two
config files. One that works, and one that does not. The goal is to pass in
the two files, and it will create a new "good" and a new "bad" config file
based on input from the user. After several iterations (calls to this
program), it will eventually end with a minimum config value that allows one
config to work and the other config to break.
The program uses a technique that takes the good config and then makes half
of the configs that differ from the bad config just like the bad config.
The code will use make oldconfig to make sure the configs that are set are
not all converted back due to incorrect dependencies on other configs set in
the bad config but not in the new test config.
This is still a work in progress, but as it was written while I was working
at Red Hat, I want this code to be submitted as such.

Before ktest issues a reboot, it will try to connect to the target machine
to make sure that it is still alive. If the target does not respond within 5
seconds, it will power cycle the box instead of issuing a reboot.
Five seconds may be too short, and ktest may unnecessarially power cycle the
box. I have found 25 seconds seems to be a better timeout for this purpose.
But even 25 may be too arbitrary. Add a CONNECT_TIMEOUT option to let the
user determine the timeout time before rebooting. By default, it has been
raised to 25 seconds.

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

infinite loop while doing the make mrproper. Looking into the cause I noticed

use the function wait_for_input. The wait_for_input uses select to look
at two file descriptors. One is the file descriptor of the command it is
running, the other is STDIN. The STDIN check was not checking the return
status of the sysread call, and was also just writing a lot of data into
syswrite without regard to the size of the data read.
Changing the code to check the return status of sysread, and also to still
process the passed in descriptor data without looping back to the select
fixed Greg's problem.
While looking at this code I also realized that the loop did not honor
the timeout if STDIN always had input (or for some reason return error).
this could prevent wait_for_input to timeout on the file descriptor it
is suppose to be waiting for. That is fixed too.

The function wait_for_input takes in a timeout, and even has a default
timeout. But if for some reason the STDIN descriptor keeps sending in data,
the function will never time out. The timout is to wait for the data from
the passed in file descriptor, not for STDIN. Adding a test in the case
where there's no data from the passed in file descriptor that checks to see
if the timeout passed, will ensure that it will timeout properly even if
there's input in STDIN.

The run_command function was changed to use the wait_for_input function to
allow having a timeout if the command to run takes too much time. There was
a bug in the wait_for_input where it could end up going into an infinite
loop. There's two issues here. One is that the return value of the sysread
wasn't used for the write (to write a proper size), and that it should
continue processing the passed in file descriptor too even if there was
input. There was no check for error, if for some reason STDIN returned an
error, the function would go into an infinite loop and never exit.

When ktest runs the console program as a child process, the parent and
child share the same tty for stdin and stderr. This is problematic when
using a libvirt target. The "virsh console" program makes a lot of
changes to the tty settings, making ktest's output hard to read
(carriage returns don't work). After ktest exits, the terminal is
unusable (CRs broken, stdin isn't echoed).
I think the best way to fix this issue would be to create a
pseudoterminal (pty pair) so the child process would have a dedicated
tty, and then use pipes to connect the two ttys. I'm not sure if that's
overkill, but it's far beyond my current Perl abilities.
This patch is a much easier way to (partially) fix this issue. It saves
the tty settings before opening the console and restores them after
closing it. There are still a few places where ktest prints mangled
output while the console is open, but the output is much more legible
overall, and the terminal works just fine after ktest exits.

Tests can set options that override the default ones. But if a test
tries to undefine a default option, it is simply ignored and the
default option stays as is.
For example, if you want to have a test that defines no MIN_CONFIG
then the test should be able to do that with:
TEST_START
MIN_CONFIG =
Which should make MIN_CONFIG not defined for that test. But the way
the code currently works, undefined options in tests are dropped.
This is because the NULL options are evaluated during the reading of
the config file and since one can disable default options in the default
section with this method, it is evaluated there (the option turns to a
undef). But undef options in the test section mean to use the default
option.
To fix this, keep the empty string in the option during the reading
of the config file, and then evaluate it when running the test. This
will allow tests to null out default options.

line "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". Unfortunately, the make_min_config
test only checks to see if the config is removed. It now needs to

If git bisect reply is being used in the bisect tests, don't bother
doing the git bisect good or git bisect bad calls. The git bisect
reply will override them anyway, and that's called immediately
after the other two. Going the git bisect (good|bad) is just a

The reboot function when rebooting back to a good kernel has a check
to make sure that a new kernel was indeed booted. But that check
uses a timeout value, which when calling the monitor will still
return success if the timeout is hit (no bug was found). It should
return an error to let the reboot code know that a new kernel was
not reached. Only the reboot code checks the return value of the
monitor.

When doing a manual bisect, a build can fail or a test can be inconclusive.
In these cases it would be helpful to be able to skip the test entirely.

After the rewrite of the config bisect, there were several unused
functions that can be removed.
One of the unused functions printed out the failed config nicer than
what the rewrite did, so I kept that and used it to output the
bad config.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The new rewrite left out the CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK, which allows the
user to test that their "bad" config still is bad and their "good"
config still is good. This is especially important as the configs
are passed through a "make oldconfig" to update them with the lastest
kernel. Things could change that causes a bad config to work, or a
good config to break. The check is done after the configs have run
through the oldconfig processing.

I never liked the way config-bisect worked. I would assume the bad config
had some config that broke the system. But it would not work if the bad
config just happened to be missing something that the good config had.
I rewrote the config-bisect to do this properly. It does a diff of the two
configs, and sets half of the configs that are in one and not the other.
The way it works is that when it "sets", it really just makes one copy
what the other has. That is, a "set" can be setting a:
# CONFIG_FOO is not set
Basically, it looks at the differences between the two files and makes
them similar until it comes down to one config that makes it work or
not work depending on if it is set or not.
Note, if more than one config change makes the bad config not work, it
will only find one of them. But this is true with all bisect logic.

- Initialize $ktest_config at its definition.
- Put parentheses around the `config-file' argument in the usage message

- Rename get_ktest_config{,s} to more descriptive get_mandatory_config{,s}.

For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be
useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers
the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config
option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a
bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this
to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure
that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.
Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
reliable.
You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.
For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:
WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}
But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:
WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/
Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

Currently ktest sends SIGINT to terminate the console.
However, there are consoles which do not exit by this signal, for example,
in my case, "virsh console <guest OS>". In such case, ktest is blocked in
close_console(). It prevents this automate test.
This patch adds new option CLOSE_CONSOLE_SIGNAL which mean the

Sometimes when a test kernel passed fine, but on reboot it crashed,
ktest could get stuck and not proceed. This would be frustrating if you
let a test run overnight to find out the next morning that it was stuck
on the first test.
To fix this, I made reboot check for the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE. If the
line was not detected, then it would power cycle the box.
What it didn't cover was if the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE wasn't defined or if
a 'good' kernel did not display the line. Instead have it search for the
Linux banner "Linux version". The reboot just needs to get to the start
of the next kernel, it does not need to test if the next kernel makes it
to a boot prompt.
After we find the next kernel has booted, then we just wait for either
the REBOOT_SUCCESS_LINE to appear or the timeout.

Although the patchcheck test checks for warnings in the files that were
changed, this check does not catch warnings that were caused by header
file changes and the warnings appear in C files not touched by the
commit.
Add a new option called WARNINGS_FILE. If this option is set, then the
file it points to is read before bulid, and the file should contain a
list of known warnings. If a warning appears in the build, this file is
checked, and if the warning does not exist in this file, then it fails
the build showing the new warning.
If the WARNINGS_FILE points to a file that does not exist, this will
cause any warning in the build to fail.
A new test is also added called "make_warnings_file". This test will
create do a build and record any warnings it finds into the
WARNINGS_FILE. This test is something that can be run before other tests
to build a warnings file of "known warnings", ie, warnings that were

Options are allowed to use other options, for example:
LOG_FILE = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/${MACHINE}.log
where the option LOG_FILE used the options OUTPUT_DIR and MACHINE.
But if a test option were to use a default option, it will not get
substituted:
OUTPUT_DIR = ${THIS_DIR}/${MACHINE}
TEST_START
OUTPUT_DIR = ${OUTPUT_DIR}/t1
For the above test, OUTPUT_DIR will stay literally "${OUTPUT_DIR}/t1"
and not be converted to "${THIS_DIR}/${MACHINE}/t1". When the test runs,
it will pass the ${OUTPUT_DIR} to the shell, which would probaly
interpret it as "", and the output directory will end up as "/t1".

its defined field, and a default option exists, then substitute the

In order to decide if ktest should bother installing modules on the
target box, it checks if the config file has CONFIG_MODULES=y. But it
also checks if the '=y' part exists. It only will install modules if the
config exists and is set with '=y'. But as the regex that was used
tests:
/^CONFIG_MODULES(=y)?/
this will also match:
CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
as the '=y' part was optional and it did not test the rest of the line.
When this happens, ktest will stop checking the rest of the configs but
it will also think that no modules are needed to be installed. What it
should do is only jump out of the loop if it actually found a
CONFIG_MODULES that is set to true.
Otherwise, ktest wont install the necessary modules needed for proper
booting of the test target.

With a name like 'oldnoconfig' one may think that the config generated
would disable all configs that were not defined (selecting "no" for all
options). But this is not the case. It selects the default. If a config
has a 'default y', then it is added if not specified.
This broke the config bisect, because options not specified by a config
will just use the default, where it expected to turn off. This caused an
option to be enabled that disabled an option that would break the build.
The end result was that we never found the bad config at the end of the
test.
Instead of using 'make oldnoconfig', ktest now builds the options it
expects enabled and disabled. When it turns off an option, it will no
longer remove it, but actually set it to:
# CONFIG_FOO is not set.

The config-bisect can take a bad config and bisect it down to find out
what config actually breaks the config. But as all tests will apply a
minconfig (defined by a user) to apply before booting, it is possible
that the minconfig could actually make the bad config work (minconfigs
can disable configs). The end result is that the config bisect test will
not find a config that breaks. This can be rather frustrating to the
user.
The CONFIG_BISECT_CHECK option, when set to 1, will make sure that the
bad config (with the minconfig applied) still fails before trying to
bisect.

This is usually the case, and to allow the user to do so, which is
helpful if the user is creating different min configs based on tests,
and they know one is a superset of another test, they can set
USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to one, which will prevent kest.pl from prompting

Add a MIN_CONFIG_TYPE that can be set to 'test' or 'boot'. The default
is 'boot' which is what make_min_config has done previously: makes a
config file that is the minimum needed to boot the target.
But when MIN_CONFIG_TYPE is set to 'test', not only must the target
boot, but it must also successfully run the TEST. This allows the
creation of a config file that is the minimum to boot and also
perform ssh to the target, or anything else a developer wants.
